Safety warnings
This AIS transponder is solely an aid to navigation and can under no circumstances provide complete
and accurate navigation information. AIS is not a replacement for vigilant human lookouts and other
navigation aids such as RADAR. The performance of the transceiver may be seriously impaired if not
installed as instructed in the product manual or due to other factors such as weather and or nearby
transmitting devices. Compatibility with other systems may vary and relies on third party systems
recognising the standard outputs from the transceiver. The manufacturer reserves the right to
update and change these specifications at any time and without notice.
